texts: From 1267 to 1268, <mask> was the king of Cyprus and Jerusalem. He was regent for several years for <mask> of Cyprus and <mask> of Jerusalem, who were younger than him. He succeeded both young monarchs upon their deaths and appeared poised to be an effective political and military leader. The first king of Jerusalem to reside in the kingdom since the 1220s, <mask> tried to restore the royal domain, reestablish royal authority over the increasingly independent mainland vassals, and prevent further loss of territory to the Egyptian Mamluks. His efforts on the mainland were doomed to failure because of the hostility of the Venetian merchants and the Knights Templar. His vassals resented his determination to deploy Cypriot armies in defense of the Crusader states. He didn't become regent of the County of Tripoli in 1275.<mask>'s right to the throne of Jerusalem was challenged by his aunt Maria, who sold her claim to Charles I of Anjou in 1277. Acre, the last city on the mainland that belonged to the king, was taken by Charles with the help of the Venetians. <mask> died in Tyre, a mainland city held by the Montforts, after two unsuccessful attempts to regain Acre. John I succeeded his father. Henry and <mask> were the sons of Isabella of Cyprus and <mask>. While <mask>'s father was the youngest son of a prince, his sister was the sister of King Henry I of Cyprus. Alice of Champagne was <mask>'s maternal grandmother.She was chosen to rule the kingdom as regent in 1253. She died in 1246 and her son, Henry I of Cyprus, passed over her claim to her half- sister. The mainland kingdom was ruled by King Henry until his death in 1253. <mask>'s mother brought him up with his cousin <mask> of Brienne, who was the son of Maria. The leading nobility of the Kingdom of Jerusalem were members of the House of Ibelin. When a dispensation was issued, the marriage took place in 1255. <mask> was disadvantaged by his bad temper and tactlessness, but he was handsome and charming.The aunt of the young King <mask> of Cyprus was Regency <mask>'s mother. The regent until her death was the king's mother, Plaisance. The regent was presumed to be <mask> II's heir presumptive. <mask> of Antioch was able to be a ruler. As heir presumptive to King <mask> of Jerusalem who lived in Europe, <mask> II was entitled to rule the Kingdom of Jerusalem as regent. Since he was a minor, he had to be exercised by his next of kin, and he accepted that role in 1263. There was a dispute between <mask> of Brienne and <mask> of Antioch after the death of Isabella.The former claimed that his mother was older than <mask>, so he should now work in Jerusalem. As regent of Cyprus, <mask> was better connected to the Ibelin family, as well as being the first cousin of Prince Bohemond VI of Antioch, who was married into the powerful Ibelin family. Since they were both close relatives of the young king, the elder of them should have priority, according to the High Court of Jerusalem. Being chosen as regent made <mask> of Antioch the heir presumptive of <mask> II. <mask> considered it his duty to defend the Crusader states. He was the first ruler of Cyprus to send his army to defend Jerusalem. The Mamluk ruler of Egypt, Baibars, conquered Caesarea Maritima, Arsur, Haifa, Safed, and Toron.Acre is the only remaining royal city on the mainland. King <mask> died in December 1267, not having reached majority, and was succeeded as king of Cyprus by his cousin and regent <mask> of Antioch. The Cathedral of Saint Sophia in Cyprus was where <mask>'s coronation took place. In May 1268 the new king sailed to Acre to become the regent and heir presumptive of <mask> of Jerusalem. The High Court was prepared to accept him, but he was surprised to find his claim challenged by his aunt. She claimed that she had the better claim to regency due to being a distant relative of Conrad, whereas <mask> was a great-grandchild of their common ancestor. Maria had come prepared for a debate and her case was stronger than <mask>'s.<mask> was a man with experience in government and troops at his disposal, so he was a better choice. The High Court ruled in <mask>'s favour after Baibars conquered Jaffa, Beaufort, and Antioch in 1268. Conrad was executed in Naples by the orders of Charles I of Anjou, who had conquered Conrad's Kingdom of Sicily. <mask> became king of Jerusalem as well. <mask> divided his time between Acre and Cyprus, instead of appointing a bailli to rule on his behalf. The mainland kingdom had a monarch for the first time in a long time. The barons of the Kingdom of Jerusalem were independent from royal authority.<mask> tried to improve the system of government by introducing an inner council and using a seal from Cyprus. On <mask>'s accession, the regents lost much of the royal domain through legally tenuous grants. The grants of the lordships of Arsur to the Knights Hospitaller, Sidon to the Knights Templar, and Tyre to Philip of Montfort were the most notable cases. <mask> was willing to compromise in order to find solutions. The important city of Tyre was held by the Montforts, a powerful family. He reached an agreement with Philip that <mask>'s sister, Margaret, would marry Philip's son John, and that Philip would give up his land to Tyre. The agreement enabled <mask> to be crowned, despite Maria's protests, on 24 September 1269 by the bishop of Lydda in the Cathedral of Tyre, where kings and queens of Jerusalem had been crowned since the loss of the city of Jerusalem in 1187.Baibars' conquered the Montfort Castle in June 1271, exposing Acre. He tried to raid Cyprus. The English prince Edward took a small army of about 1,000 men on a crusade to the Latin East, arriving in Acre on 9 May 1271. Edward was fed up with the local Christians. Baibars' failed attack on their island disturbed Cypriot knights, who refused <mask>'s summons to serve on the mainland. They argued that the king wouldn't expect them to fight for him outside Cyprus. Edward was called to make a decision.<mask> was humiliated by their disobedience. If the king or his son led the knights, they could serve abroad for four months each year. <mask> secured a truce early in 1272 after Edward helped him raid Baibars' territory. Edward left on June 16th. Lebanon was the only lay fief on the mainland. She and her fief were put under Baibar's protection because of her husband's distrust of King <mask>. She was required to marry one of the three candidates presented to her by the king.Wanting to attract a capable knight to the East, <mask> took Isabella to Cyprus. <mask> relented after Baibars demanded that she be returned to Lebanon. After Baibars died, the king did not resume control over Lebanon. As Muslim writers called him, <mask> found it impossible to be more than "king of Acre" despite some successes. The last prince of Antioch died in 1275 and left two children. He was a minor when he took over the County of Tripoli. The closest adult scion of the ruling family was claimed by King <mask>.Sibylla had established herself as regent according to family custom. <mask> didn't find any support in Libya. He only won a small diplomatic victory when he reached a truce with Baibars, preserving the last remnant of the Principality of Antioch. The merchants of Venice and Genoa were irreconcilable after <mask> succeeded in mending the rifts between his lay vassals. The Venetians were upset by his treatment of the Genoese. The Teutonic Knights objected to his rapprochement with Philip of Montfort, as well as the renewed royal involvement in the affairs of Acre. The grand master of the Templars, Thomas Berard, disliked <mask> but never challenged him.William of Beaujeu was elected to succeed Thomas Berard. <mask> had a problem with his aunt Maria claiming the throne of Jerusalem. She was already entertaining the sale of her claim to Charles of Anjou when <mask> sent procurators to answer her appeal to the Holy See. The kinsman of Charles was William of Beaujeu. He was the ruler of Sicily and brother of King Louis IX of France. Charles was hostile to <mask> and encouraged Maria's claims to Jerusalem and Cyprus. <mask> left Acre for good in October 1276 because he was angry at the opposition.The purchase of a village near Acre by the Templars was the final straw because they deliberately did not seek the king's approval and ignored his complaints. The decision to let him go shocked the Hospitallers, the Teutonic Knights, and the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, Thomas of Lentino. The king had retired with the intention to sail to Cyprus and they begged him to at least appoint a bailli. It took the help of his brother-in-law John of Montfort to get the angry king to appoint an administrator. King <mask> went to Cyprus to justify his actions. The sale of Maria's claim to Charles was approved by the pope. Roger arrived in Acre to claim government and faced no opposition from <mask>.Roger demanded that the barons pay homage to Charles as Charles's bailli. <mask> refused to answer when the barons asked if they were loyal to him. The holders of the most important lordships continued to recognize <mask> as their legitimate king. Struggles for Acre <mask> tried to reoccupy Acre twice. He brought a large army from Cyprus to Tyre in order to restore his authority over the city. The plan was frustrated by William of Beaujeu's opposition to <mask>. He destroyed the Templars' fortifications when he returned to Cyprus.The pope asked <mask> to restore their property, but he declined. <mask>'s ability to support the mainland against the Mamluks has been restricted since 1277. A major uprising on Sicily against Charles led to the recall of Roger of San Severino, as well as the passing of her lordship to her sister, Eschiva, whose husband was a close friend of <mask>. In late July 1283 <mask> sailed from Cyprus with his two sons. Instead of landing in Acre, <mask> was welcomed in Lebanon. The king's army was attacked by Muslim raiders while they were on their way to Tyre. <mask>'s standard fell into the sea and the cross carried by the clergy cracked his Jewish court physician's skull.<mask> was not welcomed to Acre. <mask> may have been afraid of the Mamluks if he attacked because Charles's new bailli in Acre had just concluded a truce. The king's most promising son, Bohemond, died in November of 1283. The death of his brother-in-law, John of Montfort, was a serious blow. After four months, the Cyprus left him, but he remained in Tyre, where he died on March 24, 1284. He was succeeded by his oldest surviving son, John I, who died the next year and was followed by another son, Henry II. There were 1235 births and 1284 deaths of <mask>'s 11 children.

texts: <mask> was a Puerto Rican activist who helped pave the way for Puerto Ricans to be given United States citizenship. When Gonzlez arrived in New York City, she was not allowed to marry the father of her unborn child because she was an alien. The Government of the United States was challenged in the case of Gonzales v. Williams. The case was known as "Issiah Gonzales, Appellant, v. William Williams, United States Commissioner of Immigration at the Port of New York No." The argued December 4, 7, 1903 and decided January 4, 1904. Her case was appealed from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York on February 27, 1903. The person was dismissed.The first time the Supreme Court confronted the citizenship status of inhabitants of territories acquired by the United States was in her case. In order to get U.S. citizenship for all Puerto Ricans, Gonzlez wrote letters to The New York Times. When the island of Puerto Rico was still a part of the Spanish Crown, Gonzlez was born and raised in San Juan. She was a native of Puerto Rico and a Spanish subject. Her mother was Antonia Dvila. The Treaty of Paris of 1898 gave the island to the United States on April 11, 1899. One of the conditions of the treaty was to transfer the islanders' loyalties to the United States.Even though Puerto Rico was a part of the United States, Gonzlez was not a US citizen. In New York City in 1901, Gonzlez's fiancé left her behind, pregnant and with another child from a previous marriage. He wanted to find a job in a factory in Linoleumville, Staten Island, where <mask>'s brother worked. After he found a place to live, Gonzlez was going to marry him. After the 1898 Spanish–American War, Puerto Rico was annexed by the United States under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. The last colony in the Western Hemisphere was lost by Spain. The United States established a military government that was both head of the army of occupation and administrator of civil affairs.The United States began the process of Americanization in Puerto Rico. The U.S. occupation changed Puerto Rico's economy and polity but did not apply democratic principles to their colony. The protections of the United States Constitution, including the right of citizenship, did not apply to Puerto Rico because the island was not part of the U.S. The United States prevented Puerto Rico from negotiating commercial treaties with other nations, from determining tariffs, and from shipping goods to the mainland on other than U.S. carriers. There were many factors that contributed to the opposition of giving U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans. Puerto Rico was not included in the U.S. Congress because it was considered inferior to the mainland. Puerto Ricans were described in 1899 as "uneducated, simple-minded and harmless people who were only interested in wine, women, music and dancing."Prior to 1898, the United States had organized new acquisitions from non-tribal governments into largely self-governing territories as a prelude to statehood and had generally extended broad constitutional protections and U.S. citizenship to free, non-tribal residents. Congress established a centrally controlled administration and refused to recognize Puerto Ricans as U.S. citizens after 1898. The U.S. Supreme Court acknowledged in 1901 that the U.S. Constitution was different in Puerto Rico. The concept of unincorporated territories was introduced by Justice Edward Douglass White. It was foreign for domestic law purposes and also part of the United States under international law. The decision allowed for the establishment of undemocratic polities in such territories, but did not demand that those territories be incorporated, and granted wide latitude to Congress and the executive in structuring those polities. The S.S. Philadelphia steamship left from San Juan, Puerto Rico and arrived at the Port of New York.Normally, when she arrives in New York, she would send a telegram to her family. The United States Treasury Department's Immigration Commissioner General issued new immigration guidelines that changed Gonzlez's and her fellow countrymen's status to that of aliens. Ellis Island was where Gonzalez and the others were transferred. William Williams was the new commissioner of immigration at Ellis Island. He was aggressively leveling the statutory bar on those aliens who were likely to become a public charge. If aliens travel with less than ten dollars, Williams ordered inspectors to be suspicious. Even though most of them had jobs waiting for them, he instructed his inspectors to attach the label of "public charge" to unmarried mothers and their children.Unmarried pregnant women were always held for further investigation and single women were only released if family members came to claim them, according to the Ellis Island policy. If it appeared that she was likely to become a public charge, the Immigration Commissioner decided to detain her as an "alien immigrant" in order to return her to Puerto Rico. Gonzalez had eleven dollars in cash on her and her family was to pick her up, however the immigration officials discovered that she was pregnant and a Board of Special Inquiry opened a file on her. Gonzlez's uncle, Domingo Collazo, and her brother, Luis Gonzlez, joined her at the board hearing the next day. The family focused on preserving Gonzlez's honor and bringing her to New York during the hearings. Inspectors weighed proof of legitimate family relations against presumptions that certain kinds of women were inadequate mothers and certain kinds of men were insufficient fathers and husbands. It will be easy to fill up this country quickly with immigrants who have no responsibility for the proper rearing of their children, but it cannot be said that this will benefit the American people.Two days later, without help from the father of <mask>'s expected child, Gonzlez's brother and Domingo Collazo's wife, Hermina Collazo. Gonzalez would not be a burden to the Welfare system since the family had enough money to support her. The attempts failed because Gonzlez's fiancée didn't show up. The immigration authorities decided to stop her from entering the mainland US because of his absence. He drew on his professional and political connections. He was an active member of the Revolutionary Committee of Puerto Rico, a radical wing of the Cuban Revolutionary Party that sought an Antillean social revolution to improve the status of workers and people of African descent. He had met with the Antillean activists.He swore a petition for Gonzlez. A lawyer was told the story by a friend of Gonzlez. The case was filed with the U.S. by his partner Charles E. Le Barbier. The Southern District of New York has a circuit court. The court ruled that the person was an alien and upheld her exclusion. The first Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico to the United States House of Representatives was unaware of the Gonzalez situation when he wrote to the Secretary of State. His protest was forwarded to the Treasury Department.Le Barbier and Parker told Degetau that they planned to appeal Gonzalez's case to the Supreme Court. She switched tactics after losing her appeal. She decided to take her case to the United States Supreme Court, but instead of focusing on the "public charge" issue, she decided to take up the issue of Puerto Ricans being citizens of the United States and not being treated as aliens. The case of Gonzlez was the perfect "test case" because it would not be about whether immigration inspectors thought Gonzlez and her family were desirable. The native islanders who were in existence at the time the Spanish possessions were annexed by the United States would be the focus of the case. Frederic René Coudert, Jr., an international law attorney from New York, started the Downes v. Bidwell case for clients protesting tariffs levied on goods shipped between Puerto Rico and the United States. The case was argued in the Supreme Court on December 4 and 7, 1903.Administrative, legal, and media discussions about the status of Puerto Ricans were sparked by the case. The issues of immigration and U.S. doctrine were questioned. The legal realm was aided by shared languages of race, gender, and morality, while the U.S. solicitor general focused on what he considered to be failed parents. Gonzlez, who was out on bond, secretly married her fiancé and became a citizen of this country through marriage. She decided to press her claim that all Puerto Ricans were U.S. citizens. On January 4, 1904, the Court ruled that Gonzlez could not be denied entry into New York because he was not an alien. She was not declared a U.S. citizen by the court.The citizenship status of the inhabitants of the new island territories remained unclear. Puerto Ricans were known as "noncitizen nationals". Aftermath had five children. She lived in New York until the 1930s when she and her husband moved to New Jersey. She believed that if the people of Puerto Rico were deceived out of Spanish citizenship, the United States would have to grant them U.S. citizenship. citizenship She wrote in The New York Times that the decision and events of her case revealed that the United States failed to treat Puerto Ricans well, breaking promises to them and marking them as inferior to American citizens.As Puerto Rico's first "Resident Commissioner", Degetau traveled to Washington, D.C. He was dedicated to the cause of gaining U.S. citizenship for Puerto Ricans. Frederic René Coudert, Jr. became a member of the State Senate from 1939 to 1946 and was elected as a Republican to the Eightieth and to the five succeeding United States Congresses. The struggle of Legacy Gonzlez was not in vain. The citizenship of the citizens of Puerto Rico was not guaranteed by the Constitution when the Jones-Shafroth Act was passed in 1917. The United States had the right to draft Puerto Ricans for military service in World War I after President Wilson signed a compulsory military service act. The system of the government in Puerto Rico was revised as a result of the act signed by President Wilson on March 2, 1917.She moved to New Jersey with her husband around 1930. Her descendants lived in New Jersey, Florida, California and Colorado. She was buried with her husband at Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington, New Jersey. Her great granddaughter, who is the keeper of the family documents, is interested in Gonzlez's history and immigration struggle. Rogers M. Smith's Civic Ideals: "Conflicting Visions of Citizenship in U.S. History" was published in 1997.

texts: An American professional baseball player, manager and executive was named <mask>. He was a member of the Boston Red Sox and played in the Major League Baseball. He spent 48 years in baseball and 14 years as president of the American League. He was a player-manager for 13 seasons and a manager for two more seasons, during his 20-year playing career. He became the first American League player to be an All-Star with two teams when he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Excelsior District of San Francisco is where <mask> was born. His Irish Catholic parents had lost most of their possessions in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.He was a student at Sacred Heart High School. He won a city tennis championship when he was 14 and played several sports as a child. When the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League began giving away tickets to students with good conduct and attendance, Cronin's grades improved. The nearest MLB team was from San Francisco. Baseball promoter <mask>, who was scouting for the Senators and managed the Lookouts at Engel Stadium, originally signed Cronin. Cronin was playing in Kansas City. "I knew I was watching a great player", he said.He was hitting.221 when I bought him. He screamed when I told him what I had done. You didn't buy him for me. You bought him for yourself. He's yours and he's not my ball player. You don't have to show up at the ballpark if you keep him. Cronin had a great year, batting.350 with 13 home runs and 126 runs.The BBWAAMVP was established in 1931 and was preceded by the AL Writers'MVP. He had an outstanding 1931 season, with a.302 average, 12 home runs, and 126 runs. After leading the Senators to the 1933 World Series, he married the niece of Griffith. He held the position of player-manager of the Senators for two years. He was the leader of the Senators in his first year. While on his honeymoon in his hometown of San Francisco, he received a message from a man named Griffith, who told him that the Boston Red Sox had offered him and his wife $250,000 to join the Senators. Tom Yawkey offered Cronin a five-year contract as player-manager.Cronin accepted the trade because he was aware of the Senators' financial problems. After he became player-manager of the Red Sox, he remained solely as manager. It was obvious that Cronin was nearing the end of his playing career. Billy Evans thought he had found a replacement for Cronin in Pee Wee Reese, the star of the Louisville Colonels. He was able to convince Yawkey to buy the Colonels because he was so impressed by Reese. When Yawkey and Evans asked Cronin to scout Reese, he realized he was looking at his replacement. Reese's talent was downplayed and he was suggested to be traded by Cronin, who believed he still had enough left to be a regular player.Reese went on to a Hall of Fame career after being traded to the Brooklyn Dodgers. The initial concerns by Evans and Yawkey were correct. He never played more than 76 games per season after his last year as a full-time player. When many young players were drafted or enlisted in World War II, Cronin limited his playing time as a pinch-hitter and utility infielder. On June 17, 1943, <mask> came in to pinch hit and hit two home runs. He broke his leg against the Yankees. He retired as a player at the end of the season.He drove in 100 runs or more eight times, as well as batting.300 or higher eight times. He had a.301 average and 170 home runs. He won two American League titles as a manager, in 1933 and 1946. The Senators lost the 1933 World Series to the New York Giants, and the Red Sox lost the 1946 World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals. At the end of the 1947 season, <mask> succeeded Eddie Collins as general manager and held the post for over 11 years. The Red Sox finished second in the American League in each of the last two seasons, thanks to their aggressive trades. In his first off-season, he acquired several players from the St. Louis Indians, including the pitchers Ellis Kinder and Jack Kramer.The Red Sox's 1949–1950 contender was anchored by the two of them. They were beaten by the Yankees during the regular season's final weekend in the previous year, but finished third in the league. It was the end of an era for the Red Sox, as it turned out. With the exception of Ted Williams, who missed most of the 1952–1953 seasons while serving in the Korean War, the core of the 1946–1950 team aged quickly. The acquisition of future American League Most Valuable PlayerJackie Jensen from Washington was a coup, but the club missed several "bonus babies" who never lived up to their potential. The Red Sox had winning season records for all but two of their 11 seasons as general manager, but from 1951 to 1958 they trailed the Yankees by an average of almost 18 games. The Red Sox began a string of eight straight below-.500 and second-division campaigns.They wouldn't be a factor until the "Impossible Dream" season of 1967. The Red Sox were the only team in the big leagues that didn't have a black player by the time of the 1959 season. He passed on signing a young Willie Mays and never traded for a black player. Pumpsie Green, a utility infielder, was promoted from their Triple-A affiliate, the Minneapolis Millers, in July 1959, six months after <mask>'s departure for the American League presidency. The first former player to be elected president of the American League, and the fourth full-time chief executive in the league's history, was <mask>. The league's headquarters moved from Chicago to Boston when Will Harridge became board chairman. Lee MacPhail took over as president of the AL on December 31, 1973.The Junior Circuit expanded from eight to 12 teams with the addition of the Los Angeles Angels, Washington Senators and Kansas City Royals. The relocation of the original Senators club to Minneapolis–Saint Paul was one of four franchise shifts. The Angels moved from Los Angeles to Orange County because of the Dodgers' dominance in the National League and adopted a regional identity. Three of the four expansion teams abandoned their original host cities within a dozen years of joining the league, while the Royals remained in their original city. Two of the charter members of the old eight-team league, the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians, were targets of relocation efforts. The National League had a competitive advantage over the AL during <mask>'s term. The NL had strong teams in larger markets and a host of new stadiums that helped it win 33 years in a row.Despite the opening of Royals Stadium in Kansas City and the American League's adoption of the designated hitter rule, the NL attracted 55 percent of total MLB attendance in 1973. The National League dominated the Major League Baseball All-Star Game from 1959 to 1973, going 15–3–1 in 19 games. After the season, Cronin drew attention when he fired two umpires for poor performance, but later it was revealed that they were fired for trying to organize an umpires' union. The Major League Umpires Association was formed two years after the men were reinstated. In 1966, Cronin was praised for integrating MLB's umpiring staff with the promotion of veteran minor league arbiter Emmett Ashford to the American League. <mask>in was a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. In the last months of his life, Cronin was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217The last public appearance by Cronin was when his jersey number 4 was retired by the Red Sox. He died at his home in Massachusetts at the age of 77. He is buried in a cemetery. Ted Williams commented on how much he respected Cronin as a father and a man at the number retirement ceremony. He was remembered as a clutch hitter. "With a man on third and one out, I'd rather have Cronin hitting for me than anyone I've ever seen, and that includes Cobb, Simmons and the rest of them," said Mack.

texts: The first president of Syria was <mask>-Quwatli. He began his career as a dissident working towards the independence and unity of the Ottoman Empire's Arab territories and was imprisoned and tortured for his activism. When the Kingdom of Syria was established, Quwatli became a government official and co-founding the republican Independence Party. The French took control of Syria in 1920. He was based in Cairo where he was the chief ambassador of the Syrian-Palestinian Congress. The Great Syrian Revolt was financed by these connections. After being pardoned by the French authorities in 1930, Quwatli returned to Syria and became the leader of the National Bloc.He was elected president of Syria in 1943 and oversaw the country's independence three years later. Husni al-Za'im deposed Quwatli in 1949 after he was reelected in 1948. He returned to Syria in 1955 to take part in the presidential election, which he won. neutralism was adopted during the Cold War by a conservative presiding over an increasingly left-wing government. He moved closer to the Eastern bloc after his request for aid from the United States was denied. He entered Syria into a defense arrangement with Egypt and Saudi Arabia to fight the influence of the Baghdad Pact. The US and Pact countries attempted to oust Quwatli in 1957, but he tried to stem the tide in Syria.He had lost his political authority as the military was able to coordinate with the Egyptian president. The United Arab Republic was formed following months of unity talks between Syria and Egypt. Quwatli was given the title of "First Arab Citizen". Quwatli believed that the union had reduced Syria to a police state. Plans for him to complete his presidential term after backing Syria's independence did not come to fruition. He died of a heart attack in Lebanon after Syria's defeat in the Six-Day War. He was buried in Damascus.In the 18th century, a Sunni Muslim family from Baghdad moved to Damascus, establishing itself in the district of al-Shaghour. Their initial wealth came from trade with Baghdad and Arabia. Some of the family's wealth was invested in large tracts of land around Damascus. His granduncle was the first member of the family to own extensive tracts. The family's notable status was due to their wealth, rather than their religious heritage, and their traditional spheres of activity were commerce and the Ottoman civil service. <mask>'s grandfather was involved in finance, as was his granduncle Ahmad, who was appointed the president of the Agricultural Bank of Damascus in 1894, and another granduncle, Hasan, president of the Chamber of Agriculture and Commerce. <mask>'s father's wealth rested on the fertile lands he owned and bequeathed to him and his siblings.Hasan was elected President of the Damascus Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture. The family remained in the working class al-Shaghur and developed networks there which contributed to its future political ambitions despite the substantial wealth accrued toward the end of the 19th century. Bahira al-Dalati, the daughter of Said al-Dalati, was married to <mask> in 1928. The oldest of the five children was Hassan, who was born in 1935. Bahira al-Dalati died in 1989. <mask> Quwatli was born in Damascus in 1891. He attended the Jesuit school in the city and studied at the Maktab Anbar high school in the Jewish quarter of Damascus.He obtained his degree in 1908. He studied political science and public administration in Istanbul. The Mekteb-i Mlkiye had a graduate in 1913. He worked for the Ottoman civil service after returning to Damascus. Quwatli was brought up in a pro-Ottoman environment due to his family's connections in Istanbul. The restrictions of the Abdul Hamid II era began to be felt around the Ottoman Empire, and discontent was growing among the empire's elite. Liberal Arab intellectuals like Rushdi al-Shama'a secured seats in the parliament after the Young Turk Revolution.The political dailies al-Ikha' al-Arabi and al-Qabas, which were established through these figures, influenced Quwatli and other Arab youths. The Committee of Union and Progress supported Abdul Hamid II during the 31 March incident. After the failed countercoup, the CUP accused Arab provinces of supporting Abdul Hamid II and started a policy ofTurkification, whereby all local officials were replaced by Turkish ones. Liberal Arab politicians were forced out of office after the parliament was dissolved. The Arab Congress of 1913 was where Quwatli's involvement in the Arab nationalist movement began. He received an invitation to attend the conference in Paris after starting his career at the Ottoman civil service in Damascus. The conference was strongly condemned by the Ottoman authorities and Arab notables were not allowed to attend.In Arab provinces, the congress succeeded in rousing nationalist feelings. During a visit by the governor of Syria to the offices of the Governorate of Damascus in February 1914, Quwatli had his first confrontation with the Ottoman authorities. Quwatli was thrown in prison at the Citadel of Damascus after he refused to follow the normal protocol during his visit. He lost his job at the civil service after he was released from prison. The growing hardship in the country during the early years of World War I pushed Quwatli to join the secret society of al-Fatat, which wasfacilitated by his childhood friend and co- founder, Nasib al-Bakri. The aim of Al-Fatat was to gain independence and unity of the various Arab territories in the Ottoman Empire. In 1913, the society established its main branch in Damascus, and was successful in attracting the Syrian elite into its ranks.In 1915, Sharif Hussein sent his son to Damascus to lobby the Syrian notables on his behalf, in order to garner support for his planned uprising against the Ottomans. In the house of Nasib al-Bakri, a member of al-Fatat met with other members of the society. The Ottoman authorities ordered the arrest of al-Bakri and his two brothers, accusing them of treason, after they learned of the meeting. He succeeded in facilitating their escape after being charged by the al-Fatat leadership. He was subjected to torture and humiliation when he was placed under arrest. Quwatli didn't confess to anything, and his abductors didn't implicate him in the operation, so they released him a month later. After his release he retired to his country house in Saidnaya and stopped all contacts with members of al-Fatat and the opposition.In 1916, he was approached by Fasih al-Ayyubi in hopes of securing an escape route for his ailing father, who was arrested by the Ottomans. The contact was tracked down and both men were arrested. He was forced to reveal the names of his al-Fatat colleagues. Quwatli tried to commit suicide in order to prevent himself from surrendering the names. After cutting his wrists, Quwatli's life was saved by his fellow al-Fatat member and practicing doctor, Ahmad Qadri. He was released on bail by his relative, who was a deputy at the Ottoman Parliament, on January 28, 1917. Quwatli became a nationalist hero in Syria because of his experience in jail.The Kingdom of Syria began on October 1st, 1918 and ended on October 31st, 1918. The liberated territory was taken over by the Emir. He appointed Rida al-Rikabi as prime minister. The assistant to the governor of Damascus was appointed at the age of twenty-six. Many of Quwatli's generation were unimpressed with Faisal's leadership skills, and were drawn to a republican, rather than monarchist, view of governance. They were suspicious of both Faisal and his brother. They formed a coalition under the name al-Istiqlal Party on April 15, 1919.The party had a pan-Arab, secular, anti-British and anti-Hashemite outlook and attracted mostly youth activists from the elite classes. Well-known members were Adil Arslan, Nabih al-Azmeh, Riad al-Sulh, Ahmad Qadri, Izzat Darwaza, and Awni Abd al-Hadi. Quwatli devoted his efforts to nationalist activities outside of the government's auspices. He was a member of the Damascus branch of the Arab Club. In a meeting with the 1919 King–Crane Commission, sent by the United States to gauge national sentiment in greater Syria, Quwatli rejected the notion of an American military presence in the country. French forces began landing on the Syrian coast in 1919 to enforce the agreement between France and the UK to divide up the former Ottoman Empire. In March 1920, the League of Nations granted France a mandate over Syria and Lebanon, and on 8 March 1920, Emir Faisal declared himself king of Syria.The French marched on Damascus after King Faisal refused to accept the mandate. The French met the minister of defense at the Battle of Maysalun on July 23, 1920. After the battle, French forces occupied Damascus. The French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon was declared after King Faisal was deported to Europe. The French started their rule by sentencing 21 nationalist leaders to death on August 1, 1920. A warrant for his arrest was issued before he fled. He fled from Damascus to Haifa in Palestine and then to Cairo in Egypt.He spent most of his time traveling throughout the Arab world and Europe as the virtual ambassador of the Syrian-Palestinian Congress. He was the main link between Arab nationalist activists in Europe and the Arab world. In Europe, he frequented Berlin where he worked with a prominent Arab nationalist intellectual, leading the French authorities to label him one of the "most dangerous" Syrian exiles. He developed close ties with a man who ruled much of Arabia by 1925. Quwatli had a relationship with the House of Saud that was related to his own family's commercial ties with the Saudis and his friendship with a Syrian adviser to the House of Saud. The Saudis were seen as a potential ally against British and French rule in the Middle East by Quwatli, who was distrustful of the Hashemites. Quwatli solidified his position as the middleman between the Syrians and the Palestinians.His acquisition of Saudi funding put him at odds with the Congress's chief financier. In the summer of 1925 tensions between the Druze chiefs of the Hauran led by Sultan Pasha al-Atrash and the French authorities culminated with the Great Syrian Revolt, which spread throughout Syria within months. Quwatli's Istiqlal Party was lobbying the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to set up a financial support network for the rebellion, but he had already secured the funneling of funds and arms from the Hejaz and diverted some of the military. The opposition leaders inside and outside of Syria began to argue more as the revolt began to lose steam. Quwatli was accused by his rivals in Cairo of pocketing money he raised and paying off rebels to prevent rebel raids against his family's extensive apricot orchards. Tensions between Istiqlalists like Quwatli and Arslan and other Syrian nationalist leaders like al-Bakri and Shahbandar were particularly sharp, with the latter accusing Quwatli of being out of touch from the realities of the revolt. The Istiqlal-dominated Executive Committee of the Syrian-Palestinian Congress had a rival committee that also called itself the Congress's Executive Committee.They were based in Cairo. Quwatli built up a network of support in the Old City of Damascus by using revenues from his agricultural lands. Quwatli was allowed to return to Syria in 1930. The French allowed him to join the National Bloc, the leading opposition movement in Syria. He joined the group because he wanted to remain a major political player. He sought to steer it towards a more determined nationalist course and worked to expand his support base, relying on his relationships with residents in some of Damascus' traditionally nationalist neighborhoods. He worked to get support from the pan-Arabists of the League of National Action.He was able to co-opt many of the LNA's members by financing its land development company and assigning some of its leaders to the director boards of companies affiliated with the Bloc. In 1936, as a general strike was underway in the country to demand a renegotiation of the French role in Syria, Quwatli was appointed the Bloc's vice president of internal affairs, but was not part of the treaty negotiation committee which led talks with the French in Paris in March. The French did not approve of the new treaty by the end of the month. Sabri al-Asali, leader of the LNA, was persuaded to join the Bloc's highest governing body by Quwatli between then and fall. Quwatli was able to strengthen his position within the Bloc by getting the support of many prominent pan-Arabists like himself. He was the Minister of Finance. During World War II, when the French took control of Syria, Quwatli called for the country's independence due to a period of food shortages, high unemployment and nationalist rioting.The Allied forces defeated the Vichy troops in the country in July. He came back in 1942. Syria's independence was officially recognized by France on September 27. National elections were postponed by the French Mandatory authorities. Prior to the 1943 national elections in French Mandatory Syria, the French authorities attempted to negotiate with Quwatli as head of the National Bloc to issue a treaty that guaranteed an independent Syria's alignment and close military cooperation with France. The Syrian people would view such negotiations negatively. He was confident that the National Bloc would win the elections.The vote for Syria's president was held on 17 August 1943. The president continued to push for Syrian independence from France. He aligned Syria with the Allies in order to get American and British support for his government. The French military assaults against Damascus and other Syrian cities in May 1945 were the result of growing countrywide unrest. More French troops were scheduled to land in Syria to aid the authorities, but British troops invaded Syria from Transjordan, entering Damascus on June 1. The UK and the US viewed the French military action in Syria as a potential catalyst for further unrest throughout the Middle East and a disservice to British and American lines of communication in the region. The issue of Syria's independence was brought to the attention of the UN Security Council when French troops began a partial withdrawal from the country.The UNSC was petitioned to force France's withdrawal from Syria. The US and UK supported Syria's request to have British troops enforce an evening curfew in the country. Quwatli expressed his gratitude to the British government. At a summit between France, the UK, the US, Russia and China, France agreed to withdraw from both Syria and Lebanon in return for British promises to withdraw its military from the Levant region as well. Syria was left out of the conference and Quwatli wanted a summit with Truman and Churchill. The transfer of administrative powers to the Syrian government began on 1 August, the day in which Quwatli announced the establishment of the Syrian Army and his position as the commander in chief. The cabinet was established on 24 August.On 15 April 1946, the French completed their withdrawal from Syria and on 17 April 1946, Quwatli declared Syria's independence day. The National Party took over after Syria's independence. Quwatli's leadership was challenged by emerging leaders such as Nazim al-Qudsi of the People's Party and Akram al-Hawrani of the Arab Socialist Party. Quwatli and the Hashemite kings of Iraq and Jordan are at odds with each other because of the latter's desire to unite Syria, Iraq and Jordan under a monarchical rule. The People's Party became an influential force in the city after the death of Jabiri, a close ally. Quwatli and the National Party made an amendment to the constitution to allow him to seek re-election. Rival Syrian parties and opposition politicians disapproved of the move and began a campaign to oust Quwatli in the next presidential election.The opposition and independents won 53 and 50 seats,

A number of Quwatli's allies defected from the National Party and the former president of Syria retired from politics because of his frustration at Quwatli's handling of Syrian internal affairs. The new cabinet included mostly pro-Western politicians. Despite the presence of pro-American figures in the cabinet and Qutli's initially warm ties with the US, relations between the two countries began to break down during the Cold War due to the view that Qutli was becoming a detriment to US interests in the region. The US Congress's rejection of Quwatli's arms request for the Syrian Army in late 1947 was a result of the close relations Quwatli had with the SCP. To connect the oilfields of Saudi Arabia to Lebanon, the Trans-Arabian Pipeline was rejected. It was feared that the project would be seen as a new form of indirect foreign economic control by the Syrians, as well as the UK.US support for Israel, particularly under Truman, was a source of tension. With the constitution amended to allow for a president to seek more than one term, Quwatli ran against Khalid al-Azm for another five-year term and won by a slim majority on 18 April 1948. The partition of the British Mandate of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states would violate the rights of the Palestinian Arab majority according to the Arab-Israeli War Quwatli. Syria made war preparations after the UN vote, including co-founding the Arab Liberation Army. The creation of the ALA as a volunteer force would attract fighters from throughout the Arab world and take the place of regular armies. The ALA's establishment was sponsored by the Arab League after the UN partition vote and the commander was a Syrian commander who played a leading role in the Great Syrian Revolt and the 1936 revolt in Palestine. Abdel Rahman Azzam, head of the Arab League, was petitioned not to enter Arab armies into Palestine when war was about to start.Quwatli offered to give local Palestinian Arab fighters arms and funding. Azzam continued to push for Arab governments to dispatch their armies. The Syrian Army was ordered to enter Palestine immediately after the establishment of Israel. During the first few days of the war, the Syrian Army gained control over a small area along the Syrian border. Ahmad al-Sharabati resigned as defense minister on 24 May, after being pressed by Quwatli to do so. He replaced the chief of staff with Husni al-Zaim. Quwatli accused Zaim of military incompetence after the war.Quwatli was accused of mismanagement by Zaim. Quwatli's popularity was built on his nationalist reputation and he was blamed for the army's poor performance. The Syrian press was critical of Prime Minister Mardam Bey, urging him to leave his position. On August 22, 1948, Mardam Bey resigned and was replaced by Khalid al-Azm. Protests took place in Syria against US President Harry Truman. Synagogues were attacked in Damascus. US officials were upset that Quwatli didn't try to stop the demonstrations.When Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon signed armistice agreements with Israel between February and April 1949, Syria did not do so and refused to send a delegation to attend truce negotiations in March. On March 29, 1949, a coup d'état was launched. Quwatli's home was raided by Zaim's troops. They disarmed his guard and confronted him in the middle of the night. Quwatli was taken to the Mezzeh Prison after being allowed to change his clothes. Prime Minister al-Azm was taken into custody. The coup was supported by the US Central Intelligence Agency.The US was the first country to recognize the government of Zaim. His mother died of a heart attack a week after his overthrow. As a result of pressure from the Egyptian and Saudi governments, al-Zaim agreed to release Quwatli from prison in April 1949. Quwatli was exiled to Alexandria, Egypt, after he resigned as President. After the July 1952 revolution in Egypt, he was respected as a guest of honor by King Farouk. The founder of the Free Officers, Gamal Abdel Nasser, became Egypt's leader in 1954. The third presidential term was held in 1955, after the ousting of President Adib al-Shishakli and the presidency of Hashim al-Atassi.He entered his candidacy at the age of 63. Required to get a two-thirds majority in the Syrian Parliament in order to win, Quwatli defeated his main opponent Khalid al-Azm 89 to 42 in the first round. Quwatli won the presidency with 91 votes against Azm's 41 in a second round of voting. Quwatli's bid for the presidency was supported by the governments of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, both of which were against the Baghdad Pact. The Ba'ath Party withdrew from the cabinet and the Prime Minister resigned. The Ba'athists objected to the nomination of Lutfi al-Haffar as Prime Minister. Rushdi al-Kikhiya refused to form a cabinet because of the influence the Syrian Army would have on his government.Quwatli chose Said al-Ghazzi, an independent, instead of the recommended reappointment of Asali. The national unity government was presided over by Ghazzi. Despite the conservative views held by Quwatli, Syria moved towards a neutralist policy during the Cold War. Despite support from US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Quwatli's request for arms from the United States was turned down on 10 September. The Eastern bloc was looked towards for economic and military assistance. Syria's relations with other neutralist countries such as Yugoslavia, India and Egypt, as well as with the Soviet Union and the Eastern bloc, were furthered during his administration. The pursuit of this policy was partially due to the support given to the left-wing movements in Syria by the Saudi and Egyptian governments, who viewed them as strong opponents of the Baghdad Pact.The Egyptian-Syrian Agreement, a defense arrangement that would serve as a counterbalance to the Baghdad Pact, was initiated in March 1955. The agreement stipulated that each country would assist the other in case of an attack, the establishment of numerous committees to coordinate joint military activities and the creation of a joint military command headed by Egyptian officer Abdel Hakim Amer. The agreement was concluded in October. Quwatli called for a national unity government that would include parties from across the political spectrum on February 15, 1956. Quwatli was able to preside over a foreign policy of opposition to Zionism and imperialism despite opposition from the Ba'athists. The Ba'athists and the communists who had been leading protests against Ghazzi's decision to lift the ban on wheat sales to Western Europe pressured him to resign. Asali was reappointed as Prime Minister.Ba'athists were appointed to the ministries of economy and foreign affairs, as well as a pledge to start unity talks with Egypt. The invasion of the Sinai Peninsula by British, French and Israeli forces in October of 1956 resulted in the severing of ties with Britain. Quwatli sent hundreds of army recruits to aid the Egyptian defense and made an emergency visit to Moscow to request support from Nikita Khrushchev, who wanted to destroy Egypt. In response to public pressure, the Prime Minister replaced several fellow conservatives and strengthened the influence of the left in the government. In July 1957, relations between Saudi Arabia and the governments of Iraq and Jordan, rivals of Syria, warmed considerably to the protestations of the left in Syria, which viewed the growing ties between the region's conservative monarchies with distress. After a series of public criticisms of King Saud by an array of Syrian political figures, he withdrew his ambassador from Syria and froze Syrian assets in Saudi Arabia. In response to the crisis between the two countries, Quwatli ordered Asali to distance his government from the anti-Saudi views of some in the Syrian Parliament and press.Quwatli personally issued a government order to shut down the communist newspaper. The Soviet purchase of a large portion of Syrian agricultural and textile surpluses and a long-term Soviet loan to fund development works in Syria were part of a long-term agreement that was established on 6 August. There was an attempted CIA-sponsored coup to replace the Quwatli government with a former president. Syria expelled the US military attache from Damascus on August 12th after Abdel Hamid al-Sarraj, the head of Syrian intelligence, stopped the coup plot. The US recalled its ambassador from Syria after expelling the Syrian ambassador. A high-ranking officer from Sidon, Lebanon with Marxist leanings was appointed army chief of staff, and several mid-level officers were replaced with communist officers. Plans to resign from the presidency in favor of the Soviet-leaning Azm led Quwatli to fly to Egypt.He returned to Syria on August 26. There were rumors of a US-backed Turkish or Iraqi-Jordanian invasion of Syria to prevent a communist takeover. The repair of ties between Syria and Saudi Arabia was a success. The Eisenhower Doctrine is a policy aimed at containing communist and Arab nationalist influence in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia would support Syria in any aggression against it, he publicly stated on 25 August. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Jawdat supported Syria even though he supported the Iraqi monarchy. Syria's leadership has been criticized for increasing dependence on the Eastern bloc.The US and its allies in the Baghdad Pact decided in a meeting in September that the Syrian government had to be removed because they feared it was becoming a satellite of the Soviets. Turkish troops massed along the border with Syria. On 13 October, after launching a radio campaign against the Baghdad Pact countries, Nasser sent 1,500 Egyptian troops to the port of Latakia in northern Syria in a show of Arab strength against Turkey. Quwatli was reassured by the leaders of Jordan and Iraq that they had no intention of interfering in Syria's affairs. The deployment was coordinated with officers Sarraj and Bizri by Nasser. According to a contemporary historian, Quwatli's political irrelevance was related to the fact that Saud had complained of not being consulted of the Egyptian move. The political power of the political groups was checked by the influence of the two men.Quwatli kept both men in their posts even though he was concerned about this. The speaker of parliament and the co- founder of the pan-Arabist Ba'ath Party were appointed as foreign affairs minister. There were serious talks between Syria and Egypt after Egypt's military intervention. At the end of October, the Egyptian speaker of parliament visited the Syrian parliament in Damascus in a gesture of solidarity, only for the Syrian parliament to vote unanimously to enter into a union with Egypt. A Syrian delegation went to Cairo to convince Nasser to accept unity with Syria, but he was against it. The Syrian military's interference in the country's political affairs and the stark difference in the countries' economies and political systems was something that Nasser was wary of. The Syrian leadership continued to press Nasser out of his commitment to Arab nationalism and realization that only unification with Egypt could prevent unrest in the country due to communist influence.In December, the Ba'ath Party proposed federal unity with Egypt, prompting their communist rivals to propose a total union. The communists wanted to appear before the Syrian public as the group most dedicated to unity, even though they were less interested in merging with Egypt. The communists were unprepared for the unfolding events spearheaded by a public driven to frenzy by all talk and promises of union. On January 11, 1958, the communist chief-of-staff, Bizri, led an officers delegation to press for unity with Cairo. The Egyptian ambassador met with Quwatli to inform him of Bizri's move. The military's move was considered a coup and Egypt was involved in it. Foreign Minister al-Bitar was sent to Cairo on January 16 to join the talks.While still hesitant at the Syrian proposal and discouraged by members of his inner circle, Nasser became increasingly concerned with the communists' power in Syria as testified by Bizri's leadership. The Arab nationalist members of the delegation, including al-Bitar, appealed to him not to abandon Syria because of an impending communist takeover. The union was formed on his terms, which included a one-party system, a merged economy, and Syria's adoption of Egyptian social institutions. The communists, the Ba'athists and the conservatives in Syria accepted Nasser's terms even though they viewed them unfavorably. The United Arab Republic (UAR) was established on February 22nd after Quwatli left for Cairo to conclude the agreement with Nasser. The new union had a president who resigned from the presidency. Quwatli was given the title of "First Arab Citizen" to honor him for his gesture.In Syria, the announcement of the UAR was met with jubilation and celebration. After arriving in Damascus on a surprise visit on February 24th, Nasser went to Quwatli's home. As residents left their homes to meet the leaders at Quwatli's house, a sea of humanity gathered with astonishing speed. Normally it would take about five minutes to reach the destination, but when the two decided to leave in an open-top automobile, it took them two hours. Quwatli was nearly faint due to the commotion of the crowds surrounding the car. Quwatli retired from politics after the union's establishment. Quwatli criticized his policies in Syria in the 1960s.The institution of land distribution and industrial nationalization was condemned by him in July 1961. His son-in-law's property was seized by the government as part of the socialist measures. The resentment towards the union across the spectrum of Syria's political class, social elite and officer corps was on the rise, with these key groups chafing at the centralization of authority into Nasser's hands, domination by a vastly larger Egypt at the political, social and economic levels. The Syrians were wary of the virtual police state set up in the country. The UAR was broken up by a coup in Syria on September 28. Quwatli aligned himself with the officers of the coup. He made a televised speech condemning the UAR and expressing his disappointment with Nasser, saying "unity does not mean annexation and the presidential system does not mean the separation of the ruler from the ruled."He accused the Egyptian authorities of setting up a system of rule dependent on "1,001 spies" and of sowing division in the republic. The Syrians were told thatRanks and titles came and went, but they were the people. He said that he was able to serve you more as an ordinary citizen than he was as president. The officers of the secessionist movement were pleased with Quwatli's statements and discussed whether or not he should serve another term as president or finish the term he began in 1955. The proposal did not come to fruition due to Quwatli's old age. The government of President Nazim al-Qudsi and Prime Minister Khalid al-Azm was overthrown by a coalition of unionist officers. Quwatli moved to Lebanon after leaving Syria.After the Six-Day War, Death Quwatli had a heart attack. He was taken to the hospital after he felt a pain in his chest. He died in Lebanon. Quwatli died after learning of the defeat of the Syrian and Arab armies. The Ba'athist-dominated government relented after pressure from the King of Saudi Arabia. The state organized a funeral for him. On the day of his funeral, Radio Damascus called him "one of the sons of this homeland who has sacrificed and struggled for the advancement, liberation and unity of the Arab nation."The Syrian Arab Republic was founded by him. Quwatli is considered to be one of the most renowned Syrian leaders of the twentieth century. Ottoman Arab nationalists Arabs of the Ottoman Empire were ousted by a coup and people from Damascus were tortured during World War

texts: The artist is best known for his multi-media installations made of cut-out images. Life Early Career <mask> was born in 1967. He became interested in art after attending an art class with his sister. He attended the San Francisco Art Institute and Emily Carr University. An art practice by the name of <mask> creates installations based on personal and lived experiences. He uses a broad range of elements, including drawing, photography, video, sculpture, performance, found materials, and sometimes sound, bronze casting and waterworks. His work takes a subtle look at the legacies of minimalist and postminimalist art.<mask>'s work begins with the idea of the art gallery as a site of phenomenological experience, as exemplified by the idea of the artwork's ability to instill in the viewer a powerful sense of their own presence. Postminimalism emphasizes the role the gallery context plays in creating the meaning of an artwork. The nature of meaning itself is emphasized by the farmer. He comes up with ways to engage with his work. Michael Fried, an art critic, said that minimalist artists, such as Donald Judd and Dan Flavin, should theatricalize the gallery-going experience. He is within the international trend in which "installation art is a theatrical set without a stage play to give it meaning." <mask>'s piece Hunchback Kit uses a hard shell case with foam inserts to house props for staging performances of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.<mask> makes components for the viewer's interpretation of the art exhibition. He casts himself in the role of the artist, adding to and transforming the exhibition during the time it is on view. <mask> presented a video in the exhibition of himself working to alter an installation during the night while the show is closed. <mask> ensured that a degree of openness and instability was built in to his work by explicitly portraying the exhibition as being 'in process'. Canadian Art International Farmer's work The Last Two Million Years takes the ephemerality of time as its theme and makes small delicate sculptures from the pages of an Encyclopedia according to Mark Clintberg. The fixity of museum display and the agreed sequence of historical events is undone by <mask>. He added bronze casting and waterworks to the list of materials he uses and transformed the site into an open-air stage.His first work was Trailer 2002, a large reproduction of a transport truck's trailer, part reality (dirt covers the surface, and mud is splattered across the gas tank), and part artifice (the trailer looks like a movie prop).

Farmer produced leaves of grass for dOCUMENTA.In 2015, he had a large mid-career retrospective co-curated by himself and Daina Augaitis at the Vancouver Art Gallery in which he used items from the Gallery's artist archives to create installations that filled the entire gallery space. How do I fit a ghost in my mouth? He represented Canada at the 57th Venice Biennale with a show titled A Way Out of the Mirror. He had a show titled The Care With Which The Rain Is Wrong, at the Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin, Germany, in which he used art monographs and his own digital library of illustrations and sounds for his installations. He is represented by a woman. The 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics were the subject of a public art project.
